New York Women's House of Detention
The New York Women's House of Detention, often referred to as the "House of D", was a women's prison in Manhattan, New York City from 1932 to 1974.
Built on the site of the Jefferson Market Prison that had succeeded the Jefferson Market in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, the New York Women's House of Detention is believed to have been the world's only Art Deco prison. It was designed by Sloan & Robertson in 1931 at a cost of $2,000,000 and opened to the public by Richard C. Patterson, Jr.
